Back in the day, we had one fat kid in our class and he was constantly made fun of. He never did get skinny. You would have thought with all the taunts, he would have lost some weight but maybe he liked the attention regardless of whether it was negative. Today it is disgusting how many fat kids are in my kids class. It is really sad that parents allow their kids to be fat. The only thing I would say about your grandchild sneaking food would be to just by veggies and fruits only. Yes a bit more expensive but worth it in the long run. Your grandson hopefully is not going through anything. Of course today if you make fun of children, the school will clamp down hard on the perps.
That is what they have done. No soda’s, water and some of those 0 calorie drinks. Controlled portions, heavy on protein. No chips, cookies, except on rare occasions. What is interesting he ate every thing before he started school. Since then he has become a picky eater. He will sneak a hot dog from the freezer and eat it. LOL.
All the doc wants is for him to hold his weight as his body will catch up with his poundage. He will be a tall man when he reaches full growth with large bones if heritage holds true. They were doing great holding him to just a 2-3 lb a year weight gain, until they moved to Bowling Green, KY where the lunch room person allowed him to eat all he wanted and they had to pay for it. Put on 15 lbs in no time at all. It is a ‘PROGRESSIVE” school. A trip to the principal put a stop to that, I strongly suspect my son told the idiot he would not pay for more than the ‘norm’ lunch, no extras. Now that he is out in the country and not in an apartment complex any more he is able to get out side to play. Believe me the TV, net and vid time is very limited as they found out it is the best punishment for bad behavior or bad grades.
No, not that we know of, he just doesn’t seem to care that he is 35 lbs over weight.
